SMA(m)

The SMA connector (SMA male) is a type of coaxial connector used in electronics and radio electronics to connect antennas, cables, or other elements to devices such as wireless communication systems, radio equipment, GPS devices, and more.

Here are some important characteristics of the SMA male connector:

Gender: The SMA male connector is a male (male) connector, meaning it has an external thread and an internal pin or pins. It is intended for connection to a female SMA connector, which has an internal thread and an external hole.

Thread: The SMA male connector has an external thread approximately 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) in diameter with 36 threads per inch. This thread is used for a firm and reliable connection to the female SMA connector.

Frequency: The SMA male connector is used for frequency ranges typical of radio communications, microwave technology, and other applications ranging from several megahertz (MHz) to gigahertz (GHz).

Applications: The SMA male connector is often used in wireless communication systems, WiFi devices, radio transmitters, radio receivers, antennas, radio frequency (RF) cables and other components.

Compact design: The SMA male connector has a compact design, which makes it suitable for applications where space and connection reliability are important.

It is important to note that there are different varieties of SMA connectors, including SMA female, RP-SMA (reverse polarity SMA), and others. RP-SMA has the opposite sex type of thread and is often used in some wireless devices. When choosing connectors, it is important to ensure that they match the devices and cables they will be used with.
